1. Write down all of the things you want your website to do and what it should look like. This has to be more then just "I want a website to sell comics". If it is e-commerce, you need at least the same features that your competitors have.

2. Take a look at different websites that sell comics (or do whatever it is that you want yours to do) and write down the things that you like and the things that you don't. Once you start to narrow down these things it makes it easier to convey to a potential developer what to avoid and what to focus on.

3. If you have a domain already, great. If you don't, find one that is available that is easy to tell someone. If you find yourself having to spell the domain to someone they aren't likely to remember it.

4. Get a budget in mind. Amateur cookie cutter websites are cheap and professional website can be very expensive. Your cost could range from $100s for a plug-in website to $1000s of dollars.

5. Get more than one estimate for the same exact statement of work.

6. Make sure the solution you have enables you to fully administer the website without having to hire a developer to make simple changes. You should be able to fully manage your inventory, pricing, sales, website content, etc without having to expect to pay someone.

It is a big project and will require a lot of your attention over many months from start to finish.

Hope this helps!

Not a major book, but a hard one to find in high grade! Subbed it in Philly and was happy with the result!

Some Thor goodness...

Was hoping for a 9.0 on the 165 but an 8.5 is certainly reasonable and I am not complaining.

The 9.8 on the 225 is freaking awesome! I love that book and the one I submitted had such deep blues and was such a beautiful book I thought it was probably a 9.6. There is one noticeable color breaking tick on the spine but I think that is the only defect on the book. Wasn't sure if it would keep it at a 9.6 or not. Apparently not. It is clean, has perfect registration, and bone white pages!!

Enjoy!

Congrats Chris! I saw this on Craigslist today and am glad someone from the boards got it!

On a side note, how much did you pay for the coffee?

What is the deal with your signature? I don't understand the meaning of the words you have strung together.

 

"To buy a sell a million dollar comic"

 

a typo I'll fix that later!

No rush, it doesn't look bad to have a typo in your signature when you are trying to make yourself look good.

I am reading Dangerous Women. I got it mainly for the Game of Thrones story () and the Butcher short (loved it).

Also really liked "Shadows for Silence in the Forest of Hell".

If you are looking for another Dresden book and don't care about sequence, I highly recommend Dead Beat!

Many pages back I mentioned the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. It is a long series though. They just announced the release date for book 15 this May. Book one and two are only okay, but from book three on you won't be able to put them down until the end.

With a Tangled Skein by Piers Anthony

I really enjoyed the Incarnation of Immortality series but the last book (Eternity) was sort of a stinker. I think he wrote even one more after that.

Too skinny. I think cable needs to look much beefier than this.

Finally get to post my appreciation books!

This one is begging for a Sinnot sig!

Always loved this cover. 1st Magus

This cover is also phenomenal! 1st Inbetweener

Doing my part to increase gpa high!

Here's a few Ron Lim IG and SS pages that I've got an eye on

Saw those. No real solid Thanos panels unfortunately. The only two are one where he is catatonic in his cosmic state and the other is from ss35 I think.

ss34 is pretty cool though but no Thanos.

Just finished reading it

 

How much for the Starling art ??

 

I just got this in the mail..... YES!

 

Current bid is $2k

http://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?id=989091

Beyond what I could pay, but this would be such a killer piece of art to own! Check this out from the latest comic link auction:

Signed by Starlin in the lower left...

Super quick payment and great to work with!

Didn't Thanos casually backhand Cap, and snap his neck, or something crazy?!?!?

 

I don't think so. A primary attack group went to get Thanos and he put a stop to that instantly

 

 

 

Right before Nebula stole the gauntlet from him and took over

 

 

Never noticed before but why is Cap's head twisted right when Thanos back handed him from that same side? Shouldn't his head be to the left?

Great idea for a thread Ryan! I read Thanos Quest and it was amazing! IG kicked too! I'm glad they left it that didn't do two terrible follow ups!

I just upgraded my two Thanos Quest books in last month's comic link auction. I thought I overpaid but I don't care!

I'll dig out scans of my Thanos shrine later tonight...
